Where to base yourself
Enniskillen
The Round O is a short walk from the town centre, so the day starts and ends at the water.
Your one-day plan
One day: out on Lough Erne
- Morning skippered trip from the Round O with Erne Water Taxi.
- Landing at Devenish Island for the round tower and monastic ruins, where the sailing allows.
- Lunch in Enniskillen, then a walk by the water at the Round O.
Operators decide whether sailings run; confirm the trip and any island landing directly.
Where to eat
Lunch in Enniskillen town centre after the sailing; it is the easiest place to find a table.
